Wanted to find out the name of who emailed me on gmail

HI Sharon,

Sounds like your email account with gmail has been hacked and under control by another person. However, im not sure about what you wrote about you logged into your email account by using your own email and password with gmail then ....what happened did you logged in successfully or not?
if you did logged in your gmail account successfully then after you logged in you see your profile name has been changed to another person name and so on the address also has been changed too then it definitely means your gmail account has been hacked by another person who did know your email address and password and that person logged into your gmail account and he or she changed your profile info and gain control to use your gmail account. This issues are not difficult all you need to do is logged in to your gmail account then on the upright conner you would see profile name of you or may be of another person name just click on it and click on MY ACCOUNT from there all you need to do is to review all of personal information and make correction back your your own profile. Once you finish to make correction then the last step is you MUST CHANGE YOUR GMAIL PASSWORD so that the hacker no longer can access your gmail account anymore.
Now you need to do a second step and this is very important it regarding why and how the hacker could gaining control of your gmail account because some of the computers you did use to get online and logged in to your gmail account ( it could be your home computer or laptop or it could be any computer outside your home but you did one time use it to check your email) Those computers or laptops you has used they has been infected by trojan or malware that is why the hacker could pull out your personal info such as email address or password. Now we are talking about your computer or laptop at home : to prevent those hacker again can gain control to access your computer without your knowledge so that they can pull out your new gmail password ! After you fix your gmail profile and change new gmail password you need to do next is to clean up and remove the virus, malware, trojan horse ....etc whatever it is which infected inside your computer. Then you will be safe.

If you can not do it by yourself ( to remove infected file on your computer) then you really need professional help to get your computer services by a computer tech.

Good Luck.

The Settings section of GMail is needed to block SPAM from their webmail.
Click the gear icon, click "Settings", click "Filters", click "Create new filter". Enter words, names, etc., and save the new filter. I haven't tried it and don't know if anything else is needed.

If you use an email client to receive the mail such as Thunderbird, or Outlook Express, you can block individual senders, or create message filters where particular words cause a message to be redirected. Using Thunderbird, I have a filter that sends any email not in my address book to Trash, though I could send it to a SPAM folder or my Purgatory folder. I check each message header before deleting the message permanently. If a sender has a new email address, or hasn't mailed me before, I add them to the address book and they won't be filtered out in the future. But most of the time I see the name of someone I know in the Trash, it's just a scam, SPAM, or malware.

Depending upon what you use your web based e-mail account for, you have preferences when it comes to your display name.
Your gmail display name is usually the first and last name that you provided when you originally created your account.
Fortunately, you are not locked into the name displayed on gmail account, you can change your gmail name in a few simple steps.

Log into your gmail account using your current gmail address and password.
Make sure to select the "Keep me logged in" box under the log-in fields.
Click the Settings hyperlink in the upper right hand corner of your screen.
It will be located right next to where your email address is at the top of the web browser window.


Click the Accounts and Imports tab in the settings box.
At the bottom of the Accounts and Settings tab, select the Google Account Settings hyperlink.

Select the Edit your Personal Info hyperlink under the personal info section of your google accounts page.
From there, you can change your first name, last name or nickname.
Once you make the desired changes click the save button at the bottom of the page.

from what you wrote, if you don't already have a gmail account, then someone else thought of the same user ID name that you did & that means that if you wanted to use the Id name you'd have to add some
thing like ( example- [email protected],, & you wanted the same Id name try [email protected] & see if that will work, if not you'll have to think of a different name.)

Enable POP3 in Gmail.
Save Changes when done.
Configure your client to match the settings below:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL: pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS or SSL: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465
Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com)
Email Address: your email address ([email protected] or username@your_domain.com)
Password: your Gmail password

First off they did not even spell winners right in the address and second did you enter the contest? If no then its a scam if it was from gmail it might have gmail in its address not consultants. Next Did they address you directly as in use your real name address or anything that is personal to you and not just your user name. also look at the address they sent it to if it is to someone else and you included its a fake. These are just a few things to look for in fakes anyone of them will tell you its fake. Mainly the first one.

I'm not sure if this is of any help
to anyone but these are the steps
I used to set up email on my
Monte. I'm using an old hotmail
account that didn't support IMAP
or SMTP properly.
1.Set Up a GMail account eg.
[email protected]
2.Set GMail to allow IMAP via the
settings link the the top right
hand corner. (under Forwarding
and POP/IMAP)
3.Under accounts and import set
up the send mail as to send mail as
[email protected]. Set this
to default send adress
4.In the same tab under check
mail using pop3 set up the pop3 to
recieve from someone@
hotmail.co.uk
5.Under Email Accounts on the
Monte set up email with the
following charecteristics:
Account Name: Hotmail
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 465
Secure Connection: SSL
Incoming Server Type: IMAP4
IMAP4 Server: imap.gmail.com
IMAP Port: 993
APOP login: greyed out
Secure Connection: SSL
Download Limit: 500
IMAP4 incoming email: New
Retrieving option: Whole Message
Keep on server: checked
My email adress: someone@
hotmail.co.uk (This is the adress
the phone puts in the from line of
an email)
Username: [email protected]
Password: gmail password
Pop before smtp: greyed out
SMTP auth: checked
Same as POP3/IMAP4: checked
Username: greyed out
Passowrd: greyed out
This should allow you to recieve
new messages from the time you
set up the gmail account on your
phone and to send emails with all
the appearences of coming from
your hotmail account while
actually coming from google's
smtp server. Really do check that
the GMail is set up properly, make
sure it recieves emails adressed
to your hotmail and that it sends
in your hotmail account's name.
